X-Files Clip of the Day

Over the next two weeks we'll be bringing you a new clip from the Season Seven box set of The X-Files every day. Don't worry if you miss one as each clip story will link to the previous days videos.

The seventh season of The X-Files was when the series really began to wind down. Mulder was about to leave the show, and the whole conspiracy was going to be revealed in the coming seasons. That meant that certain storylines needed closure, and the seventh year of the show did that while at the same time trying to get back to what made the series popular in the first place; good ol' monster stories.

Fox will release the seventh box set of The X-Files on May 13th for a MSRP of $149.98. You can find more information on the release here, and check out the clips below.
